Liz Truss’s time is up

[gentlegreen]

I haven't followed all the details, but having listened to that fracking co. bloke on LBC this fracking thing isn't actually a viable option, but simply a way to pump billions to Party Donors for the "evaluation phase" while also aiming to placate the anti-green swivel-eyed?

 

[bimble]

Tea break from doing my tax return, tuning in to watch liz truss having a worse day than i am. Its packed in there.

 

[bimble]

crikey she's doing much better than i thought she would.

 

[LDC]

I started but can't cope with her. Making action against strikers one of her 'big points'.

If I had any say I'd get them all to point and laugh at her and walk out on her.

 

[kabbes]

She’s wearing another Thatcher cosplay outfit, I see.

Yes, she has come out on the attack and Starmer doesnt know how to fight back, I can't bare to watch.....
eta:
I watched a bit of the Davis Davis crap earlier and I swear that after listening to the reply to one of her questions a lib dem MP actualy said 'what a twat' (lip reading, not heard), something I can thouroughly agree with

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh, fuck it, for some reason I thought it started at 12:30pm

 

[Chz]

There's a lot of Truss telling Starmer that he's not doing anything. He's not the fucking government, you nitwit!

Starmer's joke writers aren't even that good. He's only attacked her on her character because he is offering nothing different than the Tories this week.

 

[maomao]

Boris did that alot.

 

[Lord Camomile]

She then went on to continue to criticise Starmer for not dealing with "militant unions".

Funnily enough, I'm highly critical of Starmer for not dealing with unions too, but fairly confident it's not in the same way Truss means.

First PMQs I’ve watched in years. It’s really dull, isn’t it? Even for a politics nerd like me. There’s nothing of substance whatsoever, just tedious soundbites interspersed with pointless comments about things like Leigh Rugby Club.

 

[killer b]

who'd have thought cunt tennis was going to be anything other than shit.

 

[maomao]

Protecting the triple lock. I hope she's allowed to say that.

 

[cupid_stunt]

She's said she & Hunt are committed to the triple lock on pensions.

So, that's fucked now.

 

[bimble]

Small brain but balls of steel, to stand there in the howls for her to resign repeatedly shouting 'we have delivered on the energy price cap' with a straight face.

 

[Lord Camomile]

There's a lot of Truss telling Starmer that he's not doing anything. He's not the fucking government, you nitwit!

Also rather dangerous line to open up, given that the UK would arguably be in a better position had the Truss' government done nothing, and her Chancellor has tried as hard as possible to make it as if they had.

Yeah, it's one of the reasons I rarely actually watch stuff like this, Question Time, etc. You rarely get to actually hear anything worth listening to, even including stuff you disagree with!

No point feeling you should pay attention to something in order to be informed, when there's fuck all chance of it ever actually informing you of anything!

 

[Bingoman]

Does hunt know about this

 

[LDC]

It's all ridiculous theatre, the illusion of democracy as entertainment. They'll all bury their differences and have a drink in the bar together later.

 

[Lord Camomile]

"I am a fighter and not a quitter," Truss says

THAT IS NOT A VIRTUE if your fighting consists of spinning around wildly, causing collateral carnage, purely in an effort to save yourself.

Lacking the good sense or decency to quit is not the boast you think it is.

 

[two sheds]

Am I wrong that she's still throwing hundreds of millions of pounds at energy companies for no return?

No I never watch question time or similar, they just make me angry. Only one I ever heard (radio 4 version) was when they had four academics with no political point scoring it was actually interesting.

 

[LDC]

I think she'll survive btw.

 

[bimble]

i'm disappointed, that was shit. No schadenfreude at all.
If the job of PM is basically to evade responsibility for anything at all and just do some repetitive soundbites then she's fine they'll leave her there.

 

[danny la rouge]

Also, sure this point has been made already, but he lost in a contest to Liz Truss among Tory members. That's a different contest, judged on different metrics, to a general election among the general public.

Well yes, but for Sunak to be in the running for PM at a general election he would need to be the leader of a party or of a coalition in the House willing to put him forward as prospective PM.

I don’t understand what it is about this that people aren’t getting.

Same, I can't remember last time, probably during Brexit. It has left me a bit shaken tbh. I mean I know they all a bunch of twats but ffs they are all just...well I dont have the words

Sorry, I thought we were talking about his chances in the next GE assuming he took over as PM before then.

So are you suggesting the Tory MPs (or members) wouldn't install him as PM, and it would have to be someone who wasn't involved in the last leadership election (since, as someone else pointed out, all of those candidates lost to Truss)?

The Tories (or someone else) would need to install Sunak as their leader and (therefore) candidate for PM. They will not.

It’s as simple as that.

Correct. PMQs are a pointless set piece.

 

[Serge Forward]

The state of those ...I bet they're on the database for call-centre scammers ...

No one deserves to be phone scammed... but I'd gladly make an exception for this shower of twats.
